Villazon Maduro

A formidable dominion of premium cigars and guardian of the world’s most legendary brands, the Villazon factory has been a key piece of the cigar industry for years. Within these walls, skilled artisans first created blends worth of donning the names Punch, Hoyo de Monterrey and Excalibur, just to name a few.

The Villazon factory name may have changed to HATSA, but the time honored tradition remains. The Maduro version comes with an impressively oily wrapper leaf, shining with flavor. Toasting the foot, you’ll find hearty, toasty notes of warm tobacco, crisp peppery spice, and hints of dark chocolate.

I received one of these cigars in a sample pack some time ago, i was impressed enough to buy a bundle of 20. Today i had my first stick out of my new bundle... very pleased with the flavor, burn, construction, and most of all the price. I strongly recommend for anyone on the fence about this cigar.

One of my top 10 favorites Cigars. Not expensive, not too spicy, and very delicious! Cedar overtones and rich dark chocolate are the high notes...and it's pleasant all the way through. I'll definitely be buying these by the bunches from CI again soon!!!

I have really enjoyed the flavor and smell of these cigars, but a few have had to be corrected due to an uneven burn. Nothing major just a little annoying. Overall I have had hours of smoking pleasure and my wife loves the smell of them burning. I won’t tell you they tasted like toast or nuts or chocolate as I guess I don’t have as educated or discerning pallet as others.
I will say they have given my humidor a slight dark chocolate smell that I can detect as soon as I raise the lid. A very pleasant aroma!

I got them on sale and at the price point it was a very tasty stick ! A couple had a tight draw and had to correct the burn on a couple , but all in all I enjoyed them and will definitely purchase again !!

In the bundle I received, some were amazing (perfect draw and burn, complex taste, great amount of smoke), most were good to very good, but a couple were really, really bad. (1st time I ever threw away a whole cigar it was so bad...) If it wasn't for those bad ones, I would have given them 5 stars, but even though a few may be total clunkers, I would still buy them again hoping that Lady Luck would smile upon me and deal me out a winning bundle of nothing but amazing ones!

The Villazon Maduro cigar in the toro size is an amazing smoke. I was quite surprised how well it’s constructed with an even burn, smooth draw and a medium taste to it. I have re-ordered the Villazon Maduro cigar again in the toro size and would highly recommend it to anyone. You can’t go wrong with this stick.

Although the Staff review claims these are long-filler tobaccos, the draw and cut end suggested sandwich. One that was particularly hard to draw, I sliced open, and it sure looked like sandwich, a few longs, but heaps of just very short, or even scraps of tobacco. The draw has not been consistent between cigars, but that could be because I have not let them rest in a humidor for long enough. The couple that drew well tasted just fine.

I had one of these the other day. I really find cigar and you don’t even have to take account into account that the price is wonderful. Firm, easy lighting, slow burning, call smoke with a variety of mild flavours ranging from leather to some coffee. A good daily cigar then I will order again.

I'm always buying $40-60 bundles to fill my humidor for every day smokes and I have to say this is, so far, my favorite. I've gone through half the bundle and only found a single smoke that finished poorly. Most of them I put out at around an inch remaining. Great draw and nice flavor that isn't over-powering. I reaaallly hope CI keeps them at this price!

I wrote a bad review on here. I can't find it to erase it. These beautys have been in my humidor at 80% for about two weeks. They are absolutely phenomenal. You can't just start smoking them. The burn is perfect and the draw is a B- ... the taste is decent what you would expect for the price. If you don't condition these cigars you will be extremely disappointed.

I tried this cigar for the first time last week and and enjoyed it immensely. I genuinely love the taste of tobacco the stronger the better. The smoke was thick yet smooth and burned evenly. It took awhile to finish because it was packed with tobacco like a good smoke should be. Would highly recommend it.

Wow, this is indeed an excellent cigar.
Tastes absolutely like a Maduro should taste like, great wrapper and burn perfectly.
Thanks CI team, great pick for a special and ordered thanks to the staff review!

Let's just start here,,,Holy,Moly,and Jesus,,,what a fantastic cigar,,i don't write a lot of reviews but this one,,deserves one,,I have always been a huge fan of Punch,Hoyo de Monterey,Sancho Panza and the likes,,but at this price point,,there is nothing that compares.I just received these bundles and immedietly fired one up,,all I can say is WOW,,all i'm hoping for is,,the great people at CI can keep them in stock and at this price.

Villazon Maduro Cigar Staff Reviews

The Thrilla in the Villa

Look, I’ve never been into cigar reviews. Who the hell cares what some semi-bald, big-headed nerd thinks about a bunch of cigars? Right? But then it dawned on me. Not everyone out there is bombarded with hordes of premium cigars like I am (I know, first-world problems) and works in an environment where their co-workers burn down sticks faster than greased lightning. So I’ll admit it: I was wrong. The people need to know what’s worthwhile in the ever-growing expanse of the cigar universe. And I’m just the man to do it…

The first test-subject on the docket? Villazon Maduro. On paper, this one checks all the boxes. Pedigree? Check. These puppies are rolled at the famous Villazon factory (now renamed HATSA), where the likes of Punch and Hoyo de Monterrey are made. Price point? Check. These bundled beauties just landed here and start at a paltry $2 a cigar. Inexpensive, premium handmades from the industry’s most legendary factory? You have my attention.

Full disclosure: maduro-wrapped cigars are my go-to. No matter what, I was probably going to like this cigar more than the average cigar enthusiast. But believe me when I say it: this warlock is legit. Boasting a four-country, long-filler blend, this gem is as complex as they come. This potent cocktail is then finished with a thick, smooth Broadleaf maduro. The final product provides a fairly stereotypical maduro flavor up front; chocolaty, rich, etc. But as things progress, the blend gradually adds spice as you burn it down. Mix that with the richness of the wrapper and notes of cedar, earth, and citrus and you have a flavor firecracker that’s easily worth price of admission.

CI hasn’t become the world’s leading cigar retailer by accident. We’re committed to industry-leading prices, exceptional service, the biggest selection, and overwhelming charm. No nonsense, just great cigars delivered fast, fresh, and discounted….beware of imitators.
